This is the week that all 11th grade students will be completing state testing in reading and writing. Testing will take place on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. All 11th graders will need to be present to begin testing at 9:05 AM on Wednesday and 8:25 AM on Thursday. Students with late arrivals have been contacted and have been informed that they will need to be at school at these times both days. In addition a letter was mailed home to parents indicating this as well. Students who have classes during the first two periods of each day will be excused from them to complete testing. The test is called Smarter Balanced and passing either the test or local work samples is a requirement to receive a high school diploma in the state of Oregon. State testing in math will take place May 18th and 19th and will follow the same format of testing during the first two periods of each day.
